The beautiful weather made for a nice lunch time ride with Piplup. I like mild winters!
Friday Lunch Ride
SPAMbap
“Spambap” Cedar Park, 2023
Mariko made more SPAM kimbap today and I overindulged and ate all the leftovers. It was so good though!
My weight has gone up by about 5 lbs since Thanksgiving, which is no surprise considering all the holiday food and sweets I have been eating. It will be interesting to see how my weight changes as I get back into my regular running routine and eating habits.
But it’s also interesting to note that after running, my appetite is seemingly insatiable. That’s the reason there are no kimbap leftovers for the kids today. 🫣
New Watch
“Apple Watch” Cedar Park, 2023
My family gave me an Apple Watch for Christmas, which was totally unexpected. It’s fun to use! I like playing with the different watch faces, and the functionality is nice. I like to be able to see the weather conditions mostly, and the sunrise/sunset times.
I’ve also worn it while running, but since I use Strava on the phone, the watch is there just to see my heart rate (out of curiosity). But the first time I went running with it, it was very distracting, with pings and dings and other stuff. When I run, I like to just zone out and listen to music or my own breathing, so the constant alerts were pretty annoying. I’ve since added a “Run” focus mode that disables everything except calls and messages from family and that solves that problem. Yay!
Lunch Ride with Sophie
“Sophie” Cedar Park, 2023
I went for a lunchtime bicycle ride with Sophie to the hike and bike trail. It wasn’t too crowded today, even though the schools are still out for break. One the one hand, it’s nice because there’s less weaving around families and dogs, but on the other hand, the e-bike riders tend to go as fast as they can. ☹️

New Year Party Drinks
“Beverages” Cedar Park, 2023
Happy New Year! (again) Today we had several friends over to celebrate the new year. One of the drinks we enjoyed was a Foo Fighters Saké. It was pretty good!
The party started at about noon and ended around 4 pm. Most people have to work the next day, including myself, so it was nice to end early, relax, and recharge for the start of the work week.
Cheers to 2023!
